Git is known for being a versatile distributed source control system that is a staple of many individuals, communities, and even for the City of Chattanooga to crowd source bicycle parking locations. However, it is not known for userfriendliness or easy learning curve. Ungit brings user friendliness to git without sacrificing the versatility of git. Git and github both supports PGP signing. Within Ungit these features can be enabled. Currently, Ungit DOES NOT support GPG authentication! While git allows robust programmatic authentication via credential-helper, I could not find an easy way to do something equivalent with GPG. Therefore, password-less gpg authentication or 3rd party gpg password must be configured when using Ungit to commit with gpg. Ungit will watch git directory recursively upon page view and automatically refresh contents on git operations or changes on files that are not configured to be ignored in .gitignore.
